To find the dilation of Figure A by a factor of 2, we need to multiply each side length of the original quadrilateral by 2.

The original sides of Figure A are:
- 4 centimeters
- 2 centimeters
- 3 centimeters
- 5 centimeters

Now we perform the multiplication by the dilation factor of 2:
- \(4 \text{ cm} \times 2 = 8 \text{ cm}\)
- \(2 \text{ cm} \times 2 = 4 \text{ cm}\)
- \(3 \text{ cm} \times 2 = 6 \text{ cm}\)
- \(5 \text{ cm} \times 2 = 10 \text{ cm}\)

So, the sides of the dilated figure will be:
- 8 centimeters
- 4 centimeters
- 6 centimeters
- 10 centimeters

Among the provided options, the correct figure that represents the dilation of Figure A by a factor of 2 is:

**A quadrilateral. The sides are labeled 8 centimeters, 4 centimeters, 6 centimeters, and 10 centimeters, clockwise about the figure.**
